Climate impact of lithium-ion batteries & how to measure it 

Electric Vehicles India

However, electric vehicles basically are emission-free at least when they are powered by electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar, etc. This means a battery’s CO2 footprint will be regarded the same no matter if it will allow 500 charge and discharge cycles or 5,000. Potential to decrease the CO2 impact.
